Hank Williams SR. Or Hank Williams Jr.?

Whoa! Jus’ a dab-gum minute here, pardners!

Okay, am I to understand that everyone on this board is old enough to actually remember someone whose died in the mid 50’s? I mean, I’ll take your word that he had accomplished a lot in a short time and revolutionized the genre (so did Bob Marley, come to think of it), but how many of you actually have the music for a direct comparison?

Explanations. Details. How Hank Jr. “lived off his daddy’s name”. (For the record, I never even heard of the guy until that one Monday Night Football game.)

Sigh…Sorry, I just find overwhelming consensus fishy as hell, especially on the SDMB.

Seriously, where the heck is this coming from? I don’t even want to ask what any of you think of Garth Brooks or Billy Ray Cyrus…

(Kenny Rogers? My dad has nearly every album he ever produced.)

Hasn’t everybody heard Hank Williams? He did record, you know. Even those who haven’t heard his records will have heard other people do his songs.
